Questions about HCKT
What people ask.
Why is HCKT on Broken Stocks?
HCKT qualifies for the Red List on decline depth. It is down -62.6% from its rolling 252-day high of $25.62, set on 2025-05-16 — 363d ago.
Is HCKT a falling knife?
Not by the strict technical definition. HCKT is down -62.6% from its 52-week high, but that high was set 363d ago — more than 120 days. A falling knife is usually a recent breakdown from a fresh high, not an established multi-quarter downtrend. HCKT is still on the Red List for decline depth, but the freshness component of a falling knife is missing.
Is HCKT a buy?
Broken Stocks does not issue buy or sell recommendations. The list is a rules-based technical warning system. It tracks structural decline depth and recency — not company quality, management, fundamentals, or news. Always do your own research and consult a licensed advisor.
Where is HCKT trading inside its 52-week range?
At $9.57, HCKT sits 0.0% of the way from its 52-week low ($12.49) to its 52-week high ($29.52). A reading below 25% indicates price is hugging the bottom of the range; above 75%, the top.
How fast has HCKT been declining?
The current 62.6% decline accrued over 363d, which annualizes to roughly -62.9% per year. Annualized pace is a sanity check — a 30% decline in three months is a different signal than a 30% decline over two years.
How does HCKT compare to its sector?
There are 172 other Technology tickers on Broken Stocks: 118 Red, 36 Amber, 18 Watch, with 46 showing recovering structural signals. Median sector decline is -44.1% — HCKT's decline is deeper than the sector median.
Does HCKT's earnings date affect its tier?
No. Tiering is decided purely by decline depth and recency of the rolling-high date. The earnings date on file (2026-02-17) is shown for reference only — listings can move tier between scans based on closing prices, regardless of fundamentals or news events.
